Qi Ning smiled: "You don't have to worry, since I say so, there will be no mistake." Looking up at the sky, at this time, I saw two figures rushing from the arch bridge not far away, and Qiao Xuan, the helmsman of the Liu Tu Deer Division, was responsible for maintaining order, so he didn't take a seat, and saw someone rushing towards him, and quickly greeted him.

The two approached Qiao Xuan and said a few words to Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan immediately turned around and ran to the stargazing platform, flew to the platform, and approached Elder Suzaku to whisper a few words in his ear, Elder Vermilion Bird nodded slightly, and said a few words in his ear, Qiao Xuan retreated, and Elder Vermilion Bird approached Elder White Tiger and whispered a few words, and Elder White Tiger's face suddenly turned ugly.

Everyone didn't know what was going on for a while, they talked about it, and it didn't take long to see a group of people appear on the opposite side of the arch bridge, Qiao Xuan personally crossed the bridge, said a few words to the group of people, and then led the group of people across the bridge to this side, many people looked over there, and when they saw the clothes of the people, many people frowned.

When Qi Ning saw the person coming, a smile appeared on his lips, and he muttered, "It's better to come early than to come at the right time." ”

There were seven or eight of them, all of them dressed in big hats, hats on their heads, and scimitars at their waists.

Almost everyone present had already recognized that the person who came was dressed in the Shenhou Mansion.

Although the Shenhou Mansion has been dealing with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, if the various sects and factions have not violated the royal law, the internal affairs of the Shenhou Mansion cannot be easily interfered with, so the various sects hold various ceremonies, and the Shenhou Mansion has never been invited, although the Shenhou Mansion will definitely send people to move nearby, but it will not be easily offended.

Today's Beggar Gang Aoki Conference, the Shenhou Mansion will naturally not be invited, at this time, a group of people from the Shenhou Mansion suddenly broke into Gurung, which made many Beggar Gang disciples quite disgusted, and some people already sneered: "This is our Beggar Gang's business, what are the people of the Shenhou Mansion doing here?" ”

Elder White Tiger's face was ugly, and Elder Vermilion Bird also looked solemn, only to see that everyone in the Shenhou Mansion walked directly to the stargazing platform, the leader was short and fat, squinting his small eyes, and his face was kind, it was Qu Xiaocang, the captain of the greedy wolf of the Shenhou Mansion.

At this time, someone saw that the few officials of the Shenhou Mansion who followed behind were all carrying bags of hemp, and the sacks were bulging, and they didn't just contain something.

Elder Suzaku took a few steps forward, walked to the stargazing platform, and arched his hand: "Captain Qu!" ”

Among the four elders, Elder Vermilion Bird is sitting in the capital and has the most contact with the people of the Shenhou Mansion, and he and Qu Xiaocang are also old acquaintances, and it is also strange to see Qu Xiaocang suddenly appear at this time.

Qu Xiaocang also smiled and said: "Elder Suzaku, it is quite rude to come here today, and I ask the brothers of the beggar gang to forgive me." ”

Some people sneered in their hearts, thinking that since they knew about the faux pas, what did they come here for? But naturally, no one dared to say this.

Elder Suzaku said: "Captain Qu, my beggar gang is holding a Aoki conference, I don't know if the Shenhou Mansion is coming, do you have any advice?" ”

"Don't dare to advise." Qu Xiaocang smiled and said: "It's just that a big incident happened in Xiangyang City last night, which concerns your beggar gang, and our Shenhou Mansion thinks about it, and when the beggar gang holds a Aoki conference, we think it's better to inform your beggar gang." ”

"Big deal?" Suzaku frowned and said, "I don't know what Captain Qu means by what he said?" ”

Qu Xiaocang didn't talk nonsense, raised his hand and waved it twice, and immediately several officials of the Shenhou Mansion came up behind him, all carrying sacks in their hands, stepped forward, untied the mouth of the sack, and then a person rolled out of each sack, his hands and feet were tied, curled up in a ball, but he was still wearing a hood on his head.

The three of them were motionless, Suzaku and White Tiger glanced at each other, White Tiger took a few steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Qu, what does this mean?" ”

Qu Xiaocang stepped forward, came to the side of a person, squatted down, and took off the man's hood, the man's eyes were closed, and he seemed to be still asleep, Qu Xiaocang took off the water bag on his waist, poured it up, put it in his mouth, and then sprayed it on the man's face.

The man's body twitched, he exhaled a long breath, then took a big breath, opened his eyes, struggled twice on the ground, and then sat up, feeling many eyes around him staring at him, first stunned, and soon his face showed a look of horror, but at this time there was a commotion in the crowd, and there was a lot of discussion.

"I wonder if anyone knows this person?" Qu Xiaocang stood up, folded his hands, and said with a smile: "Elder White Tiger, you should know this person, right?" He is a hall master of the beggar gang. ”

Elder White Tiger stared at the man, his brows furrowed, and there was someone in the crowd: "This is the Lin Hall Master under the Fire Monkey. ”

Qu Xiaocang smiled: "It seems that I am not wrong, he is indeed the hall master of the beggar gang, Elder White Tiger, is his surname Lin?" ”

White Tiger hesitated for a moment before he said, "I naturally know the White Tiger Seven Residences Helm Master, but there are sixty or seventy hall masters below, and I may not know everyone. This person is familiar, but he is not too impressed. ”

"Elder White Tiger, with all due respect, you are in charge of the Seven Residences of the Beggar Gang Western Division, how can dozens of hall masters not be familiar with it?" Qu Xiaocang sighed, "But this is the internal affairs of your beggar gang, I don't want to ask too much." I just want to ask, this person has joined the beggar gang, can Elder White Tiger know? ”

Qu Xiaocang smiled and squinted his eyes, but those thin soybean-like eyes were very sharp.

Baihu was quite conflicted at this time, he naturally knew that the people from the Shenhou Mansion suddenly appeared today, and there would never be anything good, Qu Xiaocang's question was very casual, but if he wanted to answer, it was not simple.

If he said that he didn't know, the dignified White Tiger Elder didn't know anything about when one of his subordinates would join, so he would naturally have no way to lead and would inevitably be criticized by others, but if he promised to be very clear about this person, he would probably cause even more trouble.

The Shenhou Mansion brought this person over with a sack, obviously there was a handle in the hands of the Shenhou Mansion, as we all know, after Ximen Wuxian served as the Shenhou, he would never miss the opportunity to weaken the power of the rivers and lakes, and once he caught it, he would be entangled to death.

Bai Hu knew that something was wrong, but his face did not change, and said: "My beggar gang is thriving, it is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and countless people will join my beggar gang every year. ”

"I see." Qu Xiaocang said with a smile: "So the hall masters of the beggar gang are all promoted and appointed by the rudder masters of each branch?" ”

"This is the internal affairs of the beggar gang, and Captain Qu shouldn't seem to be asked." Baihu raised his hand and said: "Many brothers of my beggar gang are here today, if the Shenhou Mansion interferes too much in the affairs of the beggar gang, I am only afraid that everyone will be unhappy." ”

Qu Xiaocang said with a smile: "Of course, the Shenhou Mansion will not interfere in the internal affairs of the beggar gang, and everything the Shenhou Mansion does will only be within its own affairs." Elder White Tiger, you, the Lin Hall Master, have a special identity, you might as well ask him what kind of sacredness he was before joining the Beggar Gang. ”

The white tiger frowned, but a person came up from behind Qu Xiaocang, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, but it was Ximen Zhan Ying, who was dressed as a man, staring at the hall master of the forest, and said coldly: "It's not from the truth." ”

The man's face twitched, he sat on the ground, hesitated, and finally said, "I...... My name is Qiu Jiu! ”

As soon as his words fell, there was an exclamation in the crowd: "Qiu Jiu? Damn, isn't that the notorious flower thief back then? ”

"Yes, this dog thing also gave himself the nickname Kao Bee, Tian is shameless." Someone said angrily: "This dog thief has done evil in the rivers and lakes, and has harmed many good girls, but he has not seen the light of day like a mouse, and he has not been found, it turns out that this dog thief has joined the beggar gang." ”

The notorious flower thief became the head of the beggar gang, which was really unexpected, and it made the beggar gang lose face, and the beggars were both indignant, but they also felt that their faces were gloomy, and those guests who were invited to the conference had different expressions, some showed disdain, and even more gloated.

Elder Vermilion's face was quite ugly, and he said, "Captain Qu, is this person really a flower thief Qiu Jiu?" ”

Qu Xiaocang said: "If Elder Vermilion Bird doesn't believe it, he can interrogate him personally. Our Shenhou Mansion interrogated overnight last night, and the case committed by Qiu Jiu back then, this Lin Hall Master can explain it clearly, and it is exactly the same, if it is not for the person who committed the crime himself, many details will not be so clear. He raised his hand to support his chin and said with a smile: "I don't think anyone in the world wants to pretend to be a notorious flower thief, right?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person walking out of the crowd quickly, holding a sword in his hand, and walked straight to Qiu Jiu's side, angry, before he got close, a Shenhou Mansion official raised his hand to stop him, but the person looked at Qiu Jiu, his face was even more annoyed, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said sharply: "Good dog thief, it's really you, the blood debt six years ago, I want to recover it today." ”

"That's the owner of Sunset Mountain Villa." Immediately he who knew cried out.

The owner of Qin Zhuang had already drawn his sword in his hand, his eyes were full of killing intent, and if he hadn't been stopped by the officials of the Shenhou Mansion, he would have rushed up and slashed Qiu Jiu with a sword.

Qu Xiaocang glanced at the owner of the Qin village and asked, "Does the owner of the Qin village know Qiu Jiu?" ”

The owner of Qin Zhuang said sharply: "I'm not afraid to say it, six years ago, the wife of a friend of mine was insulted by this person, she was a woman with a strong temperament, after being humiliated, she committed suicide by hanging a beam, but before committing suicide, Qiu Jiu's appearance was drawn, and I still remember it clearly." He pointed his sword at Qiu Jiu and said angrily: "Although this person's appearance has changed slightly, his eyebrows, eyes and face have not changed, he must be a dog thief Qiu Jiu." We searched for many years, but we couldn't find the whereabouts of this person, and we didn't expect him to join the beggar gang and be protected by the beggar gang. ”

He didn't say who his friend was, naturally to protect his friend's reputation, after all, the owner of Qin Zhuang has many friends in the rivers and lakes, and no one knows who he is talking about, but looking at him, it is obvious that he is not making it up.
